Quest: A Project on Database Mining

Summary: Quest project at IBM Almaden develops database-mining tech for efficient mining of association rules and sequential patterns from large sales data. With only min-confidence and min-support, it automatically generates all rules and sequential patterns. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
